On October 13, Apple held a small, non-livestreamed "Welcome Home" event and announced seven smart home products (zdnet.com). They are the HomeView smart panel, the HomePod mini 2, a new Apple TV 4K and a Home Collection of accessories built with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric (zdnet.com). This is product news only. The sources describe no vulnerability, incident or threat activity. The only security-relevant points are Apple's claim of end-to-end encryption on the Home Collection devices and an unspecified claim of "greater security" from the HomePod mini 2's move to Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 6 (zdnet.com). The HomePod mini 2 is the first update to the small speaker in six years, priced at $149, with preorders starting Oct. 30 (zdnet.com).

Detalhes técnicos

  • HomePod mini 2 ($149) uses the Apple S10 chip. Connectivity moves from Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth 5 to Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 6, which the article says brings lower latency and "greater security" without giving specifics (zdnet.com).
  • Siri AI on the HomePod mini 2 works standalone, or connected to up to six Apple Intelligence-compatible devices. In that mode it can access Messages, Calendar and Reminders data on the paired device (zdnet.com).
  • The speaker remains a HomeKit home hub. Bluetooth Low Energy keeps it connected to smart locks, keypads, sensors and alarms when Wi-Fi is unavailable. Up to four speakers can form a surround system with the new Apple TV 4K (zdnet.com).
  • HomeView ($299, pre-order from October 15, on sale November 13) uses the A18 chip and runs generative-AI Siri AI. It supports third-party devices via Matter and direct Apple Home integrations (zdnet.com).
  • Apple TV 4K (4th generation, $299) uses the A19 chip and has far-field microphones for hands-free Siri (zdnet.com).
  • The Home Collection includes indoor and outdoor cameras, temperature sensors, thermostats, a video doorbell and a door lock. Apple says end-to-end encryption means even LG and Schneider Electric cannot access the data. The article does not independently verify this claim (zdnet.com).

Relatos divergentes

  • Siri AI on HomePod mini 2: One zdnet.com article says the speaker adds Siri AI. Another zdnet.com article, published about nine minutes later, says Siri AI arrives later over the air. The second suggests the feature is not available at launch, but neither source gives a date.
